On the Runway

Here is my new "supermodel" wearing her new dragonfly dress.  Her mom says she waltzed around the house saying "I so pretty" and I have to agree!  Like all supermodels, she will get to keep any of the clothes she models (if her mom and she like them)

Aprons and Bows

This week was spent making more aprons and coming up with a new dress.  I decided on this aline style and added piping to enhance the lines of the dress.  The brown bow picks up the brown in the daisies.  This is an over the head style dress- the buttons on the front are decorative only.

These aprons are great for coloring or art projects or just wearing in the kitchen when helping mom and dad cook!  The pockets are stitched to hold crayons if desired.

Fluttering Dragonflies

I found some beautiful fabric recently that I wanted to make a dress from.  I came up with a simple a-line dress and embroidered a dragonfly on the bodice.  I made this one for a cute little red-headed 5 year old that looks great in aqua blue.  Hope she likes it!!



Sarah's Piece of Cake

I have a friend Sarah who makes the most amazing cakes.  She is truly an "Ace of Cakes" in the making.  I made her an apron to wear that advertises her business.  Please visit her blog (it is at the top of my blog- Sarah's Piece of Cake) and don't be afraid to order one of her cakes- they are not only amazing to look at they are delicious too!


Superhero Capes

Last week I kept busy making superhero capes!  A friend of mine has 2 boys that love to play star wars, batman, etc.  She asked if I could come up with a cape for them to wear since she was always tying blankets around them.  I found this adorable ray gun design and fashioned a black cape to embroider it on.  I think it came out great!  Hope the kids like them.
